or ( Splits) on the top right of timing screen.

 Beacon Width: Beacon is commonly referred to as the virtual start, finish and split lines. The

default beacon width is set to 30 meters (15m from each side of the vehicle) and the Beacon line

is placed in a straight angle to your current bearing (see below picture), you may adjust the

beacon width according to your track width.

 Press =Menu Button can view the selected session’s Run (Lap) Times, Property, Delete session

or Export track. Track export file format can be selected with KML, CSV or GPX file. After track

export succeeded, the exported file can be found on the device memory of the Q6000\Exports

folder.

I-5. Application Mode

In Application mode, you will be able to perform LT-Q6000 as a Speedometer or G-meter. And also you

can view device’s current GPS signal status and perform the Cold start function.

 Speedometer:

The speedometer can display your current driving speed in real-time, Max speed and Trip time traveled.

And it additionally has an over speed alarm function. When the vehicle exceeds the setting speed,

driving speed will be shown in red and device will make beeping sound to warn the driver.

 G-Meter:

G-Meter uses Q6000's built in 3-axial accelerometers to provide accurate real-time G-force results with

graphics.

 GPS Cold Start:

Performing the Cold Start function will clear the GPS engine of the device’s list of old satellite

information. Under normal operating conditions, the last satellite lock computed before the unit was

turned off is stored into memory and will be used as the reference when the next time the unit is turned

on. Also, if you travel for more than 500 miles with it turned off, it will still have the reference point but

it may be too inaccurate to be useful and result in longer time to get a satellite lock. In this case you may

want to perform a cold start.
